There was a time when I admired athletes, movie stars, and musicians. Not anymore. Now I most admire KidLit authors and illustrators. Trudy is probably on my Mount Rushmore of children's authors.

She has a new book, The Invisible Boy. You should read it. If you are a parent it should be on your bookshelf. If you are an Educator of any kind-- Teacher, Librarian, School Counselor--you must have access to it at your school. It needs to be in your hands and the hands of your students.

Every young person needs to experience a true sense of belonging. Every young person needs to feel valued. Every young person needs to BE appreciated and accepted for who they are. No. Matter. What. Trudy's book addresses these important issues of Being.
